‘Coldblooded murderer’ among the bridge heroes

A convicted murderer who helped nab killer London Bridge terrorist Usman Khan is “absolutely not” a hero, according to his victim’s family.

Inmate James Ford, 42, was on a day release, attending the same prison-rehabilitation conference as Khan on Friday when he intervened in the stabbing rampage that killed two and injured three others, The Independent reported.

Ford (left) is serving a life sentence in the 2003 murder of Amanda Champion, a 21-year-old woman with learning disabilities who was found strangled and with her neck slit, the outlet reported. No motive was given for Champion’s slaying.

Ford was one of at least four people lauded by London Mayor Sadiq Khan and even Queen Elizabeth for helping to detain Kahn.

“He is a murderer out on day release, which us as a family didn’t know anything about,” Champion’s aunt, Angela Cox, told the Daily Mail. “He murdered a disabled girl. He is not a hero, absolutely not.”

Champion’s family has worked to block Ford’s parole and was stunned to hear that he was given a day pass.

“The police liaison officer called me saying he was on the TV,” Cox told the Daily Mail. “I am so angry.

They let him out without even telling blooded us. Any of my family could have been in London and just bumped into him.”

Cox said she was further horrified to learn that Ford was being hailed as a hero for helping to subdue Khan.

“[The officer] said, ‘Don’t worry, it is not him that’s done anything, he’s there and he is being classed as a hero,’ ” she said. “For him to be called a hero — he is not, he is a cold-murderer .”
